Witchs night out!

I got back yesterday from a very short trip to Salt Lake City, Utah. My mom and I left early Friday, on Saturday there was a party sort of thing where you go for free, to a place called Gardners Village and everyone there is dressed like Witchs. It was fun, I made and designed my own costume (which btw costed more then my prom dress to make.) I didnt buy much even though I wanted to, I did get a cool ring and necklace. I met up with a really good friend that I hadn't seen in years.

Here are some picturs.

This is the dress I made for it!

This is Kaicer!!

What to be for Halloween?

Ever year we go through the same rutine, we pick a hero, a princess or a creature, and then two weeks later we change it. Every kid wants to be his/her greatest Hero.
What if you were that kids "Hero"? What if your child or a child you know wanted to be you?
We should be some one of heroric acts, like dressing up, reading and playing with your child, because you will be the greatest hero your child can have, everyother "Hero" out there is fake, but your not, so dont be fake to your children.
Be your childs greastes "Hero" so they will dress like you next Halloween.

Cards!

Every six months I make cards (I also make them during the six moths, but I make the most every six months.)

Now I usauly just make plain "how are you", "thinking of you" type of cards, but this year I wanted to get ahead of my Christmas cards. Saturday I made mostly blue theamed cards, and Sunday I did acouple brown ones, but wasnt really feeling inspired. But I have had this idea in my head for some time, but wasnt sure if it would work, I talked with my best friend and he said he liked it. So on Sunday I tried it out.



I present picture frame cards.



This is the only halloween one I made, but its cute!

Here is a side look at the 3D.

The idea behind these is, that you have a picture up on the wall and the image inside the frame is coming out, its becoming 3D so to speak. My favorite one is the first one, which is the first one I made. Tell me what you think.

Here is a card that I am very proud of, its 3D, and it looks sooo cool!!! It was a little hard to figure out how to make the tree stand up off the paper, but after some thinking I figured it out. I have a top view and a side view so you can see how it looks.

Here are all the cards I made, in oreder. The first eight I made earlier in the week but the rest I made Saturday and Sunday. There are acouple missing from this picture, but I will post it later with more cards I have planned to make.

I love making and sending homemade cards to people, it makes me feel good that some one else and see and addmire my work. I hope you anjoyed my cards, and I hope to post more soon.

From a Prophets mouth to my Heart.

This past weekend we had General Conference. Its always amazing what the Prophet and his counselors say to lead and direct us. One of my favorite things to do is get my own copy of the magazine that has all the talks are put into, and then read each talk, mark my favorite things, write notes in the margins, and then write down my favorite quotes. Its uplifting and inspiring.
\
This past conference focused a lot on the youth, how they should act, how they should choose their friends, and the things they should avoid. Even though these talks are centred to the youth, we as adults can still listen and apply what they say to us. a big deal was music, how there is so much bad music around us and we need to not listen to the bad and only focus on the good. I know that my ipod has songs that shouldn't be on there, but most of the time if we like the artiest or the beat we ignore what the words say. Even if we don't say swear words, but they are repeated in the songs we listen to, thats almost as bad as saying them, because you are numbing yourself to them and getting used to hearing them so you don't care anymore if you hear it.

One of my favorite parts of conference are the stories, and depending on who tells the stories their really interesting to watch. President Thomas Monson (who is the President of the LDS church) gave a funny story, and the facial expressing and movements has he gave it made it the all more funny and interesting to watch, his stories are always uplifting. The story he told on Sunday was about him as a little boy and earning $5 during the depression, and how great that little $5 were, he talked about almost losing it one time because he left it in his pants pocket that were sent to the wash, how sad he was, he talked about praying to the Lord, that the Lord would keep his $5 safe. In the end when you got is pants back from the wash the $5 dollars were still in the pocket, he was so happy, he thanked the Lord and then went on with the rest of his day.

I love the Spirit during Conference its so strong, I hope that the next conference in April will be as wonderful as this one. (which I kinda already know it will)

I failed.

I'm sorry to those of you who are reading this and thinking "She never finished SUPER BLOG WEEK!!" thats right I didn't, and I'm sooo sorry, I have let myself down and you down, but dont fret, I have posts in my head and pictures to share, I will soon (hopefuly) be posting more lovely new posts for you to check out. This one will be the first in many.
